So much is lost singing this opera in english. Musicals are far better suited for english but it really doesn't work here.

Even in English, this is exceptionally enjoyable.

[Bremen25]

perhaps some is missing because of the language switch, but it sure beats the pitiful summary in my textbook.

[Metaleks]

Not bad.

If it wasn't in English, I wouldn't be able to follow the story, but I still feel there's something missing.

@lokigotya68 Yawn. Elitist.

See the website "Opera in English" for translation

[KanemPG]

@lokigotya68 totally agree!

The Italian is beautiful, but there is nothing like opera in your native language!

[leporello56]

@FunnyJokes27 well I'd say they should be sung in their original languages, there are lots of brilliant english operas like those of benjiman britten or gilbert and sullivan.

Another case for importance of good winds.
